Summer’s here and we’re all looking for ways to celebrate. One way to serve up the fun — adding food holidays to your festivities.
Food’s already invited to the party. Highlighting a beloved food just makes your get-together even memorable!
Plus – the foods we’re celebrating this month are just MADE for parties. Here’s some of our favorites.
June 2 — Donut Day
This is the day to celebrate the baked good we donut want to live without.
If you’re looking for the extra “wow” factor, Raindrops Giant Gummy Donut is an a-GLAZE-ing choice. The mammoth gummy candy is broken into 7 pieces, so its easy to serve and share.
Guests will also be tickled pink to see the vibrant pink shells of Nassau Candy’s Donut Hole Bites. From first look at their heir pink sprinkle speckled shells, you know donut hole bites are ready to party. Inside the sweet donut filling adds to the festivities.
June 4 — Cheese Day
Time to get cheesy celebrating the creamy blocks of goodness that make our hearts melt.
Cheese Day is a great day to break out the cheese boards.
Give guests a double dose of cheese by adding Partner’s All American Crispy Cheese Crackers. Made with simple wholesome ingredients, like real parmesan and cheddar cheese, All American crackers brings that homemade feel .
For those looking to make their cheese celebration super fancy, then there’s Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Zest and Cheese Seasoning. A blend of Black Summer Truffles enhanced with pecorino cheese, this cheese seasoning adds the perfect touch to popcorn, French fries — even grilled meats.
June 13 — Cupcake Lovers Day
Time to let them eat cupcakes!
Dessert’s already on the menu. But for Cupcake Lover’s Day let’s make it extra special by serving up Clever Candy 3D Gummy Cupcakes.
The gummies’ two-tone colors and super detail really take the cake. The bulk candy is especially perfect as the finishing touch for a freshly baked cupcake or in a candy buffet.
Summer days get pretty hot. Add some refreshment to your Cupcake Lovers Day celebration on June 13th with Cookie Dough Bites Red Velvet Cupcake Soda.
Don’t let the name cookie fool you. This bubbling beverage is bursting with sweet, creamy red velvet cupcake flavor. Added bonus — you don’t have to wait until dessert to enjoy your cupcakes!
June 16 — Fudge Day
Fudge is synonymous with carnivals and amusement parks so it only makes sense we would honor it in the summer.
There are so many ways to celebrate this creamy, chewy confection. But sometimes it’s best to go for the classic like a slice of Asher’s Chocolate Fudge.
Summer is also synonymous with road trips. For those bringing their celebration on the road, we suggest M&M’S Fudge Brownie. A creamy fudge brownie center in a crisp candy shell offers a creamy crunchy twist on the classic.
June 18 — Picnic Day
Picnic day is all about enjoying food in the great outdoors.
Make the celebration extra special with a picnic favorite, watermelon, in candy form like Nassau Candy Watermelon Fruit Slices. The multiple candy layers make it look like a real slice of watermelon for a picture-perfect presentation.
Another way to give your picnic celebration a little refresh is with a remix of a picnic classic. Like Belvoir Farm Elderberry Lemonade. The floral flavors of elderflower, added to lemon and spring water perfectly capture the delicate, refreshing flavors of a summer day.
June 21 — Peaches & Cream Day
Time to celebrate another summertime staple – sweet peaches mixed with cream.
To make your celebration really pop, pick that peachy pop that really pops like Japanese Peach Ramune Soda. Each bottle of sweet fizzy soda comes with a marble stopper that you push into the bottle for a signature clink. That sound is certain to get the party started!
Also, you can’t go wrong with a classic like Clever Candy Gummy Peach Rings. The tangy peach flavor and chewy texture with a sprinkling of sanding sugar always delights.
June 24 — Pralines Day
The sweet, nutty southern classic, pralines just makes you think of summer, so June’s a great time to celebrate them.
Try a modern celebration with a deconstructed version of a praline found in Sahale Maple Pecan Nut Mix.
Roasted pecans generously glazed with cinnamon and maple sugar, mixed with apples, sweet cherries, and walnuts give those rich southern sweet flavors in a poppable, sharable bite.
Or you can add a touch of sweet nutty nostalgia to your celebration with Nashville’s Pecan Goo Goo Clusters.
While not technically a praline, this longtime candy brand brings praline-inspired flavors through its mix of caramel, pecans, and marshmallow coated in creamy milk chocolate.
June 29 — Almond Buttercrunch Day
End the month with a crunch by hosting an almond buttercrunch party!
We’re certain they’ll go nuts for the sweet, buttery extra crunchy flavors and textures of iconic Nassau Candy Buttercrunch.
For something that can fit into a snack bowl, there’s OMG’S Dark Chocolatey Almond & Toffee Graham Clusters. A mix of creamy, dark chocolatey confection with crunchy toffee bits, almonds and graham crackers. This combination can only be described as OMG.
Summertime’s all about having some fun with friends and family in the sun. Make those moments even more memorable by adding food holidays into your festivities.
